US Classification:

370252, 370346, 370449, 709224

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for optimizing a distributed polling system in a network comprising a plurality of nodes. The method includes identifying bandwidth constraints on polling traffic for each of the plurality of nodes. Selecting, from a plurality of unpolled nodes within the plurality of nodes, at least one poller node according to a maximum number of unpolled nodes assignable to each of the at least one poller node without violating bandwidth constraints, and respectively assigning the unpolled nodes as pollee nodes to the at least one poller node. The apparatus includes a central manager and a plurality of pollee nodes coupled to at least one poller node via at least one routing path. At least one aggregating node is coupled to the at least one poller nodes, where the aggregating node is further coupled to the central manager.

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370351, 370254

Abstract:

A methodology for making joint channel and routing assignments in multi-radio wireless mesh networks that takes into account interference constraints, the number of channels in a network and the number of radio available at each mesh router, and maximizes bandwidth allocation subject to fairness constraints. In particular, the methodology provides for routing, channel assignment and link scheduling in multi-radio mesh wireless networks utilizing a constant factor approximation technique that models the interference and fairness constraints and is able to account for the number of radios at each of the wireless nodes of a wireless mesh network.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

Association control is utilized for associating wireless local area network users with at least one wireless local area network access point and thereby achieving simultaneous fairness and load balancing. In the present method, a network operation center receives user parameters from each user in the wireless network via the access points. It then sets out both to determine a set of associations between each user and one or more access points based on the user parameters using fractional load balancing and produce a second set of associations by rounding so that, in said second set, each user is associated with only one access point. The present method achieves close to optimal load balancing and max-min fairness while outperforming commonly-used heuristic approaches.

International Classification:

H04J 3/14

US Classification:

370253, 370229, 370230, 370235

Abstract:

A network-equipment-implemented method and apparatus for tracking durations of flows received at a network node in consecutive intervals utilizes two counting bloom filters in ping-pong operation to reduce memory and processing. Identifiers for flows that exceed a predetermined duration or number of intervals are stored in a long-duration flow-identifier table. Hash functions used within the counting bloom filters and optionally used in the long-duration flow-identifier table are chosen to minimize the probability of false positives in the detection of long-duration flows. In some embodiments, flows are sampled to conserve memory and processing resources at the risk of missing detection of some long-duration flows.

Abstract:

A lighting control system determines an optimal way to operate one or more lamps to achieve a desired light output and/or to control one or more parameters. The lighting control system includes a detection circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit performs a wide-scope scan and a narrow-scope scan to find the best way to operate the lamps. The wide-scope scan includes driving the lamp(s) using multiple output settings, evaluating the light output at each setting, and determining which setting produced the best results. The narrow-scope scan includes making small adjustments to the settings to better refine the light output. The detection circuit includes one or more sensors for providing measurements of the light output by the lamp(s) or of a controller parameter, such as power consumption, for each setting evaluated by the control circuit.
